The Welsh 3000's is a tough hill walking challenge set in the stunning Snowdonia National Park. The aim of the Welsh 3000's is to climb 15 mountains over three mountain ranges in two days within 24 hours of walking, including Snowdon the highest mountain in Wales. Each section of the walk has its own challenges for you to meet and conquer and by the time you have finished you will have reached the summit of all the 3000ft mountains in Snowdonia!
Starting at Pen-Y-Pas your first day's walking will see you cover around 14 miles and summit on 8 of your 15 Peaks over the Snowdon Massif and the Glyders. It will be a long day and you can expect to take between 10 and 12 hours approximately to complete - a real test of endurance.
After you first day its back to base for a well deserved rest where you will have the chance to get a hot shower, dinner and a chance to relax before hitting the hay to get as much rest for the second day of the challenge.
The second day is another early rise for you and your teammates where you will have a distance of about 15 miles with the opportunity to bag the other 7 summits. This will take about 10 hours to complete and you'll hit the highs of the peaks on the Carneddau.
With the Welsh 3000s in the bag you can fee rightly proud of your achievement and it is a short trip to back to Betws-Y-Coed where you can get cleaned up and enjoy a traditional Welsh dinner that will hit the spot! You'll then have time to enjoy a drink with your new found friends and regale in the stories of a long but very enjoyable weekend.
